Love that Defines

Hey.
Work has been getting easier, which is good news! The big boss man came in today and I think I passed the test. Good to know. This morning, I was mopping, as I do every morning, and a song came on the radio. The XM station we listen to is super weird and plays anything from Elton John to Miley Cirus....yeah. I know. This song, whose title has left me, was serenading about love...and talking about how you aren't a real and true person until you have a love in a person. Hmm. This got me to thinking...is this how I view my life? Waiting to be in a relationship to begin, to be fully human? This is most certainly not how God designed things! He created us to be satisfied fully in Him and to find all our worth in Him. But, how often do we view life like this? Obviously, this song is not one of a kind. If you listen to any mainstream music, you know how much more pronounced this theme is now, than years ago. And yet, I wonder...do people really think that they aren't a person unless they have "love" to define them? My gracious God is teaching me this lesson: HE and He alone is my all, my everything. And it is He that defines me, not another, or my gifts (which He gave me), my family, my friends, or a romantic relationship. I am His child, and He is jealous for my love. Can I do anything but give Him my all? He is jealous for your love and life as well. The Creator of the Universe and Savior of the world, desires your affection and devotion. I pray that we can be a people of whole-hearted devotion to God and promoting Him to all the earth.
That was my Divine revelation for the day. Hope it was encouraging to you as it was to me...I learned a lot from that awful song. :) That song also talked about making your man tell you his feelings...that is how you know that your love is true. Yeah, bad. Haha. You live and learn, and don't take counseling advice from pop songs. Especially not from the 70's. Ever.
This weekend is the close of my third week here, in Charlotte. It feels weird to say, but I think I am getting a little more used to things here. I am still awaiting with high expectation the day my family arrives, don't get me wrong. :) Speaking of them, we got some family pics done by the awesome Jamie Delaine!! See the sneak peek of those on here: http://jamiedelaineblog.com.

I covet your prayers. I am waiting on the Lord, and seeking possibly another job in addition to or instead of the one I have. I'm just not getting enough hours. And they are really trying, but in food service, you never know how the ebb and flow of customers is going to run. I am praying for the faith of a mustard seed, so that this mountain can be moved. I know the Lord has my best in mind...and that this is all for my good and that He has me here for a reason, whatever that is. I am seeking to glorify Him in all I do; including getting refills, mopping, taking orders, and busing tables.
Thanks for reading. Blessings.
